The move was announced earlier this year, and is now live. The service offers all the usual features available to buyers of books, including Whispersync, which automatically synchronises their margin notes, highlights and bookmarks, real page numbers, Facebook and Twitter integration, and more.
Customers use their local library's website to select a book to borrow. They can then to "Send to Kindle", login to their Amazon.com account and get the book via wi-fi or USB.
"This is a welcome day for Kindle users in libraries everywhere and especially our Kindle users here at The Seattle Public Library," said Marcellus Turner, city librarian for The Seattle Public Library.
"We're thrilled that Amazon is offering such a new approach to library ebooks that enhances the reader experience."
